Here's where you've seen EastEnders' Pastor Clayton actor before | Soaps

Howard Saddler currently stars as creepy Pastor Clayton in EastEnders, but he has a host of other roles under his belt.

The sinister church leader, who made his debut in the BBC soap in December, was embroiled in a huge storyline which saw him sexually abuse beloved Albert Square stalwart Yolande Trueman ( Angela Wynter).

Upon meeting her at the community center, rumors began to circulate among parishioners who believed there was more to their relationship than initially thought.

Putting an end to the gossip, Yolande attacked the leader Agatha (Chloé Okora) and the pastor assured her that there was nothing to worry about.

But Clayton's true nature was later revealed when he locked Yolande in the community center storeroom and sexually assaulted her.

When she returned to Walford this week, she was dismayed to learn that Levi, the church official who was supposed to report him to the authorities, had left the area.

What did Pastor Clayton do to Yolande in EastEnders?

In stomach-churning scenes, Clayton pulled Yolande in for a hug but slowly moved his hands to the base of her back.

Yolande felt uncomfortable afterward, and in the scenes that followed, the pastor placed his hand on her thigh. When she questioned his motives, he implied she had misinterpreted the situation.

In an effort to punish Yolande for speaking out, Clayton enlisted his wife Stella to take over her responsibilities for their charity work, which devastated her given how much she was looking forward to hosting a fundraiser.

Yolande then apologized and the pastor handed her over to organizing the fundraiser. But in devastating scenes, he locked Yolande in the community center storeroom and sexually assaulted her on the very day of the fundraiser, which it was poised to be a success.

The much-loved character broke down in tears and headed straight to the lauderette, where she confided in Elaine Peacock (Harriet Thorpe) about her ordeal, asking her to keep quiet.
